At The Avatar Casino...

...a man idly feeds coins into a slot machine. At the next machine is another man doing the same. He looks over at the first man and recognizes him.

"Hi, Bill," he says. "What are you doing here? You said this place cheats people, that all the games are rigged. Why are you standing here spending your hard-earned money on games that cheat you?"

The other man looks at him sadly. "Hi, Pat," he replies. "All of that is true, of course. But damn, it's the only game in town."

He goes back to feeding coins into the slot machine.
